Cyberpunk Edgerunners | Release Date
A 10-episode offshoot of the 2020 game, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, will be released in September 2022. Studio Trigger, famed for its distinctively stylish anime serials including Kill La Kill, Little Witch Academia, and more, provides the animation.

Cyberpunk Edgerunners | Cast and Everything We Know
The series has not revealed a full cast roster, but its principal characters revealed so far are listed below:
- David
- Maine
- Dorio
- Kiwi
- Pilar
- Rebecca
- Lucy
In Night City, a group of mercenaries known as the Edgerunners fight for their lives. Is there a proper list of the voice actors for the characters that haven’t been released? To their credit, the animators and editors behind the film have created an orgasmic show of slick action, exquisite lighting, and a colourful cast of major characters that are all full of life. As a bonus, the game uses a lot of sound effects from the Cyberpunk 2077 game’s sound library, which is a good thing.
A wild 10-episode adventure will show if David aims to join Arasaka’s elite or just wants to have some fun on his vacation to the moon. The show’s opening credits feature some fantastic music by Franz Ferdinand, which helps to further accentuate the show’s flair. This Netflix original series, which premieres in September 2022, is one you won’t want to miss.
Did Netflix already release a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners trailer?
In addition to Netflix’s release of a complete trailer for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the official Cyberpunk 2077 YouTube page has already produced an introduction video with comments from the acclaimed Japan-based animation firm, Studio Trigger.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners – Plot Synopsis
It is expected that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will be a spin-off to the events of the Cyberpunk 2077 video game. Anime’s plot will revolve around a slum dweller. With the aid of the latest technologies, he seeks to assure his survival in a futuristic city obsessed with physical body alteration. A Cyberpunk type that specialises in the execution of “mercenary outlaw” stuff, he has no choice but to become an Edgerunner.
There is little doubt that Edgerunners will tell a far different story than the 2077 video game. All of the action, however, will take place within the Night City in the upcoming anime.
Who are the authors of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners?
Produced by CD Projekt RED, which is well known for creating the computer games Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3. By Studio Trigger’s request, the film was made (Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia). Promare director Hiroyuki Imaishi and Kill la Kill animator Hiromi Wakabayashi are in charge of the series. Masahiko Otsuka (Star Wars: Visions) and Yoshiki Usa (Gridman Universe) were given the responsibility of adapting the script from CD Projekt RED. Akira Yamaoka composed the music for the film (Silent Hill).
